in the control menu for the f-16 there are keybinds for the transmit switch, which has the uhf and vhf VoIP, radio menu keybinds. there also two more that i dont have a clue what they do the  iff in and iff out keybinds?

I believe the IFF in and out switches are not simulated in DCS because what they actually do is classified.

Iff in actually does function, long press sends spi over link16 to your flight.

Isn't the IFF on the throttle reminiscent of another block? Afaik it's done with the TMS left long/short. Or are you referring to something else?

You are totally right! I learned something new. Thank you! 🙂

Check for the "DATA" text on your HUD once your teammates have sent you some interesting information and look for the "+" or "x" sign on your HSD. Verify your XMT button (right upper button #6 or #7 I guess of the HSD page) is set to L16 or something and not "OFF". I don't recall the exact terms, I am not in my F16 ATM.

I am confused. Can someone sum up what functions we currently have, besides the radio transmit functions? IFF in(board) sends steerpoint data to my flight. Thats worked already fine for me.

It can only be a steerpoint that's sent, not the SPI?  I thought it sent the SPI.

Spi is the correct answer. It sends the current spi.

If your HSD is SOI, you will send your currently selected steerpoint. If one of your sensors like the ground radar or the TGP is SOI, you will send your current SPI. These functions are currently implemented in DCS.

In the future once we've receive IDM support, IFF Outboard Long will trigger IDM rounds, while IFF Inboard Long will transmit data over either IDM or LINK 16 depending on which network the XMT label is set to on the HSD.
